Those three types all do have a duplicate attribute 'type' but the 'type' from XLink gets a different prefix so theoretically there shouldn't be an error. The error would be a result of the validator not recognizing that the XLink 'type' is prefixed, or otherwise thinking that the two have the same prefix. I can't duplicate this error (fidling around with namespace declarations, attributeFormDefault, etc.) using XMLSpy 4.4. I recently upgraded to 4.4, but I never got the error with the old version (and these attributes in question have been in MODS for a long time.) Unfortunately I don't have the old version to play around with. Does anyone else get this error? --Ray ----- Original Message ----- From: "Prajakta Prakash Vaidya" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 3:45 PM Subject: [MODS] MODS Schema Validation Error > Hi, > > I am using MODS to record metadata for video files.
